Learn to paint outdoors, en plein air, with fine artist and Maryland Master Naturalist Diane DuBois Mullaly. Water-based gouache (pronounced gwash) is opaque watercolor in tubes. This forgiving medium is favorite of plein air painters who travel and want a simple set up. Our focus will be on capturing color and light, creating a good composition, and gaining confidence en plein air while painting the meadows, woodlands and wetlands of the Arboretum. Students receive their own paint, brushes, paper, and more, to keep and take home.
